Claudio Carvalho In the countryside near to New York, Djuna (Joséphine de La Baume) lives alone with her housemaid Irene (Ching Valdes-Aran) in a manor that belongs to her friend Xenia (Anna Mouglalis). When she meets the screenwriter Paolo (Milo Ventimiglia) at a video rental store, they immediately fall in love with each other. However, Djuna discloses to Paolo that she is a vampire and while making love, she turns him into one. Paolo moves to her house and they happily live together. Out of the blue, her wicked and troublemaker sister Mimi (Roxane Mesquida) appears to stay for a week with them, turning their lives upside-down. "Kiss of the Damned" is an underrated and sexy film romance with a good romance with an international cast where the female vampires are French actresses. The plot is well developed and the music score is classy. In 2013, Jim Jarmusch wrote and directed the cult "Only Lovers Left Alive" with a similar storyline. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O Beijo do Vampiro" ("The Kiss of the Vampire")
siderite I watched this film on a whim and I can tell you from the start that is mostly a waste of time. Mostly, because the vampires in the film, classical as they were, had this twist of high class addicts that tried to stay off human blood, but occasionally failed. There was even a night of the vampires where they just sat there and discussed their condition. This had a lot of potential. Unfortunately the discussion was stale, the basic premise of the film just a spout between eternal sisters (now that is hell) and nothing else.The cast was also full of potential. Milo Ventimiglia is a decent actor and rather good looking; I bet he will do increasingly well. Roxane Mesquida is hot as hell, especially in the role of the out of control psychotic bitch. Michael Rapaport, poor guy, had a lot going for him but now is just a fat nobody playing ridiculous roles. However, I am pretty sure this cast could have done a decent job with a good script. Alas, this was anything but one.Add to this the really bad direction, the weak effects, the obsolete camera techniques and you get a movie that looks made by a student for a cinematography exam. Just avoid it.
FigThingIrish Kiss of the Damned is among on of my favorite vampire movies because the acting was so good. Roxane Mesquida is the perfect vampire because she is wickedly funny, beautiful and witty. They other actors were very good too and funny. I hope to see other movies with Roxane Mesquida where she has a similar role. While the storyline was a bit dry at time, the actors really made this movie good! In addition to Mesquida, I thought that Michael Rapaport also did a good job acting as did Joséphine de La Baume. Even if you aren't into vampire movies, I think this movie has broad appeal and can be enjoyed by all age groups.
Taryn E Halgat I'm a huge fan of all vampire movies... the good, the bad, and the really bad. I knew when I first saw the trailer for this movie it was going to be a tad different from the brooding sparkly vampire teenagers we've come to know over the past several years and I was right. So often vampire movies become campy predictable interpretations that completely miss the mark but this film was dead on (pun intended) From it's stylized 70's themed wardrobe and settings to it's fantastically melodramatic soundtrack it had me absolutely captivated right from the beginning. It's a classic conflicted love story with all the predictable ups and downs complete with a very convincing sociopathic villain but what sets it far apart from the rest of the campy vamp trash that's plagued our cinema screens recently is it's realistic take on a very unrealistic supernatural lifestyle. This movie did a fantastic job of expressing the constant turmoil, trials, and tribulations of a modern day vamp without over glorifying or glamorizing anything. It was gory, captivating, and seductive at all the right times and in my opinion one of the better vamp films I've ever seen.
